Jazz at the Exchange Cafe, Hexham. Good gig, some great music but spolit a little by the lack of an audience. The hard light and high ceilings isn’t great for a Jazz venue and it’s the first time I’d thought that the smoking ban was detrimental to atmosphere. That ofcourse is just me hankering back to the ‘good old days’ of University gigs like Genesis in the Refrectory at Newcastle University back in the 70′s or hanging out in Ronnie Scott’s but it’s better than sitting in front of shite Saturday night TV for sure.
